Trustees’ (Directors’) Annual Report

For the year ended 31 March 2023

Trustees’ Annual Report

The trustees present their report and the unaudited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Structure, Governance and Management

Watford Sheltered Workshop Limited is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 18 March 1963 (amended 23 September 2019). The company became a registered charity with the Charities Commission for England and Wales on 17 August 1966.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees/directors

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles of Association are known as members of the charity. The board meets six times a year and considers such matters as the appointment of trustees, the financial position of the Charity, the approval of Annual Reports and Accounts and the appointment of the independent examiner. The quorum necessary for the transaction of business of the trustees is a minimum of three at the AGM and two at other times. As set out in the Articles of Association, trustees are elected to serve for three years.

We have 7 Trustees, including one nominated by Hertfordshire County Council (awaiting reappointment) and one nominated by Watford Borough Council respectively. All members give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.

Governance

Staff

Day to day management is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer. Volunteers

The Workshop has a number of volunteers who support the service users in different ways and bring other skills to support our work, including IT systems, Risk analysis and control, fund raising, accounting, health and safety and providing training. The trustees are grateful to them for all their assistance.

Objectives and Activities of the Charity

The trustees consider that the charity exists for the purpose of the local public benefit as defined in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011. The charity’s purpose as set out in the objectives contained within the company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association is to provide supported employment, work experience and skills training to people who are disabled or disadvantaged, enabling them to contribute to the community and, where possible, progress into unsupported employment.

Risk Assessment

In order to comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charity Accounts (FRS 102) a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and the systems that have to be established to mitigate those risks has been carried out. The review considered external factors and procedures have been put in place to rectify those areas of potential vulnerability. These are monitored on an ongoing basis by our risk committee.

Trustees’ (Directors’) Annual Report

For the year ended 31 March 2023

Achievements and Performance

Adult Care Services

We continue to provide a Day Opportunities Service for service users referred to us by Hertfordshire County Council; Adult Care Services (ACS). The new Framework agreement runs to extended to September 2027, reflecting the value that we deliver to people with disability in what is the only facility of its kind in the area and indeed in Hertfordshire. The "Springboard" project by which we are able to bring in more service users who fall through the cracks in society and who do not have a care package, started in April 2022 and has been extended for a further year to March 2024.

TESG (DWP)

The Transitional Employer Support Grant (TESG) continues to be in place. This scheme is administered by Access to Work and includes all previous Work Choice Clients in our employ on 1st April 2019.

Future Developments and Strategies

The last two years have left us with some customers who have reduced activity, others who are going from strength to strength and some new customers coming on board. The branch in High Wycombe is doing very well. We actively encourage new business, and our team is to be congratulated on achieving an amazing sales figure in difficult times. We have set a realistic sales target of £330,000 for the next financial year. The trustees and managers are continuing their initiatives to expand the charity’s sales and its visibility in the business community at what is a difficult time for everyone. Costs are continually rising, and we are grateful to our customers who have accepted the inevitable price rises in these inflationary times.

Fundraising, Designated Funds and Endowment Funds

Fundraising continues to be an essential part of core activities. It has been a very successful year for us in terms of fundraising from Trusts, Companies and Individuals. This activity is vital to support the day-to-day activities of the charity including the life skills and independent living skills training we offer our service users. We are grateful to all our funders for the continued support which resulted in a number of donations including a very generous donation from the Betty Messenger Charitable Foundation (BMCF) and a 10 year endowment fund from the Edward Gostling Foundation (EGF).

After careful consideration the Board of Directors have decided to designate £1,250,000 of the funds donated by BMCF for use in paying for the wages and related costs of our service users over a period of up to 10 years. The Board will keep this designation of funds under review. The endowment fund of £250,000 is to be spent over a period of 10 years as specified in the agreement with EGF on our charitable activities.

Financial Review

The Statement of Financial Activities for the year is set out on page 5 of the accounts.

The trustees have established a policy to build up unrestricted reserves to a level to support the charity’s core expenditure for a period of six to twelve months. At the year-end unrestricted reserves amount to £2,028,063 (2022: £550,885) of which £1,250,000 (2022: £nil) has been Designated for particular use. Restricted reserves amounted to £175,140 (2022: £72,251). Endowment funds amounted to £250,000 (2022: £nil)

The result for the year is a surplus of £1,477,178 on unrestricted funds (2022: £13,221). The trustees consider the result for the year to be very satisfactory and take the view that the Charity is now properly capitalised. The funds have allowed us to bring the some rather worn facilities at the workshop up to date and will allow us to expand the number of service users coming to the workshop.

Investment Policy

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association the charity has the power to invest as the trustees wish. The trustees, having regard to liquidity requirements, have, to date, operated a policy of keeping available funds in interest bearing deposit accounts. In view of the donations received during the year an investment sub-committee has been formed. This committee has developed a written investment policy and a rigorous process was carried out in order to appoint investment managers. Since the year end CCLA Investment Management Limited were appointed as investment managers and the board has approved investing part of the charity funds in investment funds designed for charities.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The trustees, who are also the directors of Watford Sheltered Workshop Limited for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Watford Sheltered Workshop Limited

for the year ended 31 March 2023

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charitable Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purpose of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act”)

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited this year by way of audit dispensation from the accounts scrutiny section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 granted by the Charities Commission on 17 April 2023 and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). In carrying out my examination, I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act).

Independent examiner’s statement

The company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the ICAEW.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that:

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

for the year ended 31 March 2023

1 Principal Accounting Policies

Company Information

Watford Sheltered Workshop Limited is a private charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales. The registered office and trading address is at Century Retail Park, Dalton Way, Watford, Herts, WD17 2SF.

Accounting Convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with; the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2022. The accounts include the results of the company’s operations, which are described in the Trustees’ Annual Report, all of which are continuing. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts are rounded to the nearest pound.

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Incoming Resources

All incoming resources are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when the company is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Income from grants and other donations which are of a voluntary nature are recognised when the charitable company has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date and receipt is probable. Grants received for future accounting periods are deferred. Endowment funds are recognised on the Statement of Financial Activities in the period the gift is made.

Income from grants, and similar income where conditions for payment are linked to performance, are recognised to the extent that the charity has met the recognition criteria.

Income from charitable trading activities is recognised when the related goods and services have been completed and dispatched.

Income from donated services and facilities are recognised when the charitable company utilises the facilities with the fair value being recognised as incoming resources and expended resources simultaneously, as appropriate.

Resources Expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, recognised when a liability is incurred, and classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held with banks and other short term liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.

Basic Financial Assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction cost and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

for the year ended 31 March 2023

1 Principal Accounting Policies (Continued)

Derecognition of Financial Assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Basic Financial Liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Derecognition of Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are those which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the Trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity and is to be spent in line with the conditions imposed.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

Tangible Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets are held at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over their useful lives on the following basis:

Plant and Machinery 20% on cost Fixtures and fittings between 20% and 25% on cost Motor vehicles 10% on cost

Government Grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met, and the grants will be received.

A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.
